Serving His Guests Himself

When in Bahá'í history
'Akká (today: Acre, Israel)
The Master’s humility was shown in many ways. He desired no name or title except that of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá—the Servant of God. He forbade pilgrims to fall at His feet. In the early days in ‘Akká, He cooked for His fellow prisoners, and later, when entertaining visitors at His table, He sometimes served His guests Himself, ‘a practice He recommended to other hosts’.
